As the task complexity increases, the experience of information literacy becomes important due to different information behaviors (ie, diversity and complexity of information needs, difficulties in obtaining information, attention to oral information sources, interaction and exchange of information with colleagues). Objective: Addressing the role of information literacy experience of individuals in the workplace in terms of the complexity of the task is in the target texts of this review article. Methodology: Qualitative research was conducted by content analysis. Findings: As the complexity of work tasks increases, information dependence and information literacy experience become more important. The more complex it is, the more aspects of information literacy in the workplace are needed; We also found that a small number of information literacy definitions are defined in terms of the work environment. And none of the definitions of information literacy examined had all aspects of information literacy.
